Good point John. I rarely fish with lines, leaders, and tippets that exceed twice the rod length. I was only saying that the rods would do more if necessary. I usually carry an old tippet wallet with several lines for the rod I am using so I can switch if the situation (fish) demands it. I fish tenkara style with more than just tenkara rods. I currently use the Ayu and 11' Iwana from TenkaraUSA but I also use the 9' and the 13' Wakata from Allfishingbuy as well as some of his Hera rods and another pole. I have a 15' and 21' Hera. Traditional fly line running lines or short sections of traditional fly line enable me to fish larger flies if necessary as well as roll cast better. The fluorescent yellow lines at Allfishingbuy are the most visible lines I have cast and are perfect for the kind of fishing you have been doing. I just never mention other retailers when I am on another retailer's site.
